Vintage Collective has spent a great amount of time to scan their personal collection of vintage typography & calligraphy and load it up on flickr. This is my new favorite photostream for inspiration. I am especially loving these calligraphy feathers today!
These typographic beauties are merely the titles from Insurance Maps produced by Sanborn Map Company™ between 1880 and 1920. Imagine if we still paid this much attention to detail on the title of every thing we produce? I imagine we would have a lot less stuff and it would all be much better looking.
a great intro to typography from font shop! meet your type, a field guide to typography shows you how to find your perfect {type} match. it's a free pdf book, so download away and make your flyers, blogs & ads better with great type combinations!
